"Dead Broke" is essentially a one room play with eight suspects being interrogated in a murder case. You cannot set your expectations beyond this very limited environment. The movie is very much like "Twelve Angry Men", except instead of a sequestered jury, here we have sequestered suspects. The acting is strong and as each of the eight reveal their suspicions, anyone could be implicated in the crime. Things are complicated however, because the victim's body, which fell into a river, has yet to be recovered. The film is a bit long, and the claustrophobic atmosphere monotonous. Nevertheless, persevering to the conclusion is mandatory. - MERK
